Around a reflection about the process of deterioration that the low incoming housing (L.I.H.) produced in the frame of public policies of housing valid in Colombia since the decade of 1990 has been presenting, the article sketches an statement elaborated in recent study by the author. He proposes to amplify the usual disciplinary focus of the architecture and the urbanism about the sectoral problems -repeatedly centered in the product- guiding the view toward the processes in which this products (the housing and its surroundings) are configured with the taken decisions. In them, there is resolved -with exclusions and inequities- the confrontation inherent to the processes, between actors with diverse motivations. The study and interpretation of this processes, of the actor's motivations and the taken decisions -especially in the phase of the public policies formulation- allows to elaborate an interpretation of the L.I.H. sector situation, that shows the absence of large and inclusive social processes in the taking of public decisions and leads to state the necessity of reconfiguring the professional insertion in them.
